The US system also has plenty of issues, but does anyone know why?
Medical doctors are highly skilled workers and there seems to be an insatiable demand for more of them. So why aren't they in a good negotiating position? Why aren't established doctors trying to help with the madness — especially those that have kids who are trying to enter the field.
- Dma54rhs 4y agoThe wages in medical field in the US are pretty good compared to Europe. Probably some would even say outrageous, I'm sure its part of the high cost per patient care in addition to layers of complexity with insurance sector.
- uluyol 4y agoI don't know much about Europe, but are comparing wages during residency, or after? Residents have 80+ hour weeks, $200k+ debt, and only a $50k salary. It takes a very long time (undergrad + med school + residency + more to specialize) before the perks of being a doctor kick in in the US.
